DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular, to FIG. 1 thereof, the preferred embodiment of the new and improved roof mounted fire protection system embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference number 10 will be described.
Specifically, it will be noted in the various Figures that the device relates to a roof mounted fire protection system for extinguishing house and yard fires with water supplied sprinkler heads mounted to the roof of the house. In its broadest context, the device consists of horizontal roof pipe 12, a vertical side pipe 14, a plurality of upwardly directed sprinkler heads 16 and a pump 20. Such components are individually configured and correlated with respect to each other so as to attain the desired objective.
The system includes a conventional yard 22. A house 24 is positioned on the yard and includes a plurality of side walls and a roof 26. The roof is formed in an inverted V-shaped configuration with front and rear sections each having lower edges. A centrally positioned apex 28 defines the highest point of the roof. In alternate embodiments of the apparatus the system does not include a house or yard, but rather is adapted for use in association with an existing house or yard. The system can also be utilized with other free standing structures such as office buildings and apartment complexes. Note FIG. 1.
The system includes a horizontal roof pipe 12 and a vertical side pipe 14. Each pipe is formed in an elongated cylindrical configuration with a hollow interior. The pipes are fabricated of PVC material in the preferred embodiment. In alternate embodiments of the apparatus the pipes are fabricated from one of the following materials: plastic, copper, aluminum, steel. The horizontal roof pipe is coupled along the apex 28 of the roof and includes a plurality of apertures extending within it. The apertures are positioned diametrically opposed from each other. Note FIG. 1.
A roof bracket 30 is formed in an inverted V-shaped configuration. The roof bracket is positioned over the roof pipe 2 and secured to the roof of the house. The roof bracket includes a plurality of apertures positioned in alignment with the apertures of the roof pipe. The vertical side pipe 14 has an upper end and a lower end and is coupled to a first side wall of the house. The upper end of the vertical side pipe is coupled to the horizontal roof pipe 12. Note FIG. 1.
A plurality of upwardly directed sprinkler heads 16 are included with the apparatus. Each sprinkler head is formed in a generally conical configuration with an open outboard end 32 and an open inboard end 34. The outboard end of each sprinkler head has a larger diameter than the inboard end, with a gradually decreasing diameter therebetween. The inboard end 34 includes a plurality of external screw threads. A plurality of caps 36 are each formed in a planar circular configuration and coupled over the open outboard end of a sprinkler head. Each cap includes a plurality of water holes 38 positioned through them. Note FIGS. 3 and 4.
A plurality of connecting pipes 40 each have a first end including internal screw threads and threadedly coupled to a sprinkler head. The connecting pipes each have a second end which is coupled through the bracket and within an aperture of the roof pipe. The upwardly directed configuration of the sprinkler heads allows water to be dispersed over the entire roof of the house in the event of fire. Note FIG. 1, 3 and 4.
The system also includes two horizontally positioned lower pipes 42. Each lower pipe is coupled to the lower edge of the front and rear sections of the roof. Each lower pipe is coupled to the vertical pipe by an auxiliary pipe 44 affixed horizontally to the side wall of the house. Note FIGS. 1 and 4.
An above ground water storage tank 48 is positioned upon the upper surface of the yard. In an operative orientation the storage tank is completely filled with water. A tank pipe 54 has a inner end coupled within the storage tank. The tank pipe has a outer end which is coupled to the intake pipe of the pump. A first alternative embodiment 55 of the apparatus is shown in FIG. 7. In such embodiment the apparatus includes a subterranean tank 57. In alternate embodiments of the apparatus a storage tank is not included with the system. Rather, a swimming pool or public water source is operatively coupled to the system. Note FIGS. 1 and 2.
A water supply assembly 56 includes a weatherproof cabinet 58, a pump 20, a control box 60 and a power source 62. The power source is operatively coupled to the electrical system of the house. The power source 62 includes a battery backup. Note that FIG. 8 depicts a schematic view 63 of the electrical system of the apparatus. In the event of a power failure, a switching circuit directs the flow of current from the rechargeable battery to the pump. Note FIGS. 1 and 8.
The weatherproof cabinet 58 is formed in an essentially hollow generally rectangular configuration and positioned upon the upper surface of the yard adjacent to the house. The pump 20 is electrically powered and positioned within the cabinet. The pump includes intake 64 and output ports 66. The outer end of the tank pipe is coupled to the intake port of the pump. The lower end of the vertical pipe 14 is coupled to the output port of the pump. During operation of the system the pump forces water up the vertical pipe and through the horizontal pipes for distribution through the sprinkler heads 16. Note FIGS. 1 and 3.
The control box 60 includes a timer device, a timer dial 64 and an on/off switch 66. The control box is operatively coupled to the pump. The control box includes incremental markers surrounding the timer dial. When the on/off switch is in the on position, the timer devices activates the apparatus at a predetermined time. Upon activation, water is pumped through the pipes for distribution through the sprinkler heads. FIG. 6 discloses a schematic view 65 of the operational flow of the apparatus. Note FIGS. 5 and 6.
Heat sensing devices 68 are positioned within the yard and operatively coupled to the control box. The seat sensing devices are positioned upon the yard around the house. When the control box is set to the off position the heat sensor devices activate the system when exposed to high temperatures. Note FIG. 1.
As to the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and the manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modification and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modification and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
